As far back as you can remember, you’ve always had a passion for technology. Even at a young age, you’d be the one helping your parents figure out the new TV remote (and VCR and the microwave…you get the picture). And the moment you first sat down at a computer, you knew it was true love. You’re passionate about supporting applications but also analyzing what’s working and what isn’t, because to you, there’s magic in making things run smoothly.

- You’re a master juggler — of projects, that is. Seriously, you’ve got some mad multi-tasking and prioritization skills, but never let a tight timeline impact your high-quality results.
- Your favorite noun is teamwork – working well with others comes as naturally to you as breathing, but you don’t mind working solo either.
- You never need to be told what to do…when you see something that needs doing, you get on it!
- You’re a lifelong learner who picks up new things quickly. And we like that about you.
